Investigating a Definite Integral--from Graphing Calculator to Rigorous Proof.
Touval, Ayana
Mathematics Teacher, v90 n3 p230-32 Mar 1997
Consideration of a definite integral in an advanced calculus class led to a great deal of mathematical thinking and to the joy of discovery. Graphing calculators allowed students to investigate quick solutions which should be regarded as stepping stones to additional investigation and rigorous proof. With slight modifications to their proofs, students were able to formulate and prove a theorem. (PVD)
